Good concept, poorly executed.

Charming and brutal

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Worthless attempt at comedy don't waste your time on this dribble.

I'm a big fan of La La Land, Marc's previous show for Showtime and My New Best Friend which like High and Dry was also for Channel 4 so was really looking forward to this and it didn't disappoint. Great opening and characters - my stand out so far is Asim Chaudhry but also loving Harry Peacock's (Toast) performance so far. It's early days but I've already been shocked by Asim's character, bewildered at Brett's behaviour and most of all amused at the one-liners and slapstick by Wootton - really looking forward to episode 2 and seeing how it all pans out and develops

Q. What do you do when you are writing a comedy but can't think of any actual jokes or humourous bits? A.Make characters so ineffably stupid and vapid that their every word and action make you laugh at them, not with them.I've watched most of the first episode of this 'idiots stranded on an island' comedy and I really dont mind if they all die on that island, humanity would be better off. There seems to be no centre of normality around which the farcical activities can occur, no anchored observer, just.. idiots being .. idiots..The writer/main actor, Marc Wooton seems to have some experience in writing but it just doesnt seem to show here. I get that farcical characters means people acting in over the top in farcical ways, but this just takes it to the limit and leaves us with no character to align with. Imagine Fawlty Towers where EVERYONE was as bad as Basil. Or that the reason that Blackadder 2-4 was better than Blackadder 1 was because Edmund himself became the island of sanity surrounded by a sea of morons.Not this show, its Morons all the way down. Marc Wooton plays the most ridiculous campiest flight attendant this side of Dick Emery sketch. Harry Peacock is his romantic foil or something. Vikki Pepperdine does her Appallingly Rude Middle Age Harridan schtick, again. And the rest are also morons but have yet to develop their full moronity.If you secretly browse IMDB.. please put some actually comedy in your next show, don't use this ultimately lazy path.

This show had potential when it was previewed, But the product failed to deliver. It's shocking that there's a lack of decent comedy around today, and this is a perfect example. The British people need real sitcoms, they DON'T need gimmicks! Whoever conceived this, I hope they were laid off soon after!To round off this interview, this shipwreck of a sitcom needs to be sunk, because it makes Gilligan's Island look like Lost!
